Chiropractic Education

Seven years university-level education

The Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) in Toronto and the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR) both offer programs accredited by the Canadian Federation of Chiropractic Regulatory and Educational Accrediting Boards (CFCREAB). CMCC and UQTR are recognized degree-granting institutions as recognized by the respective Ontario and Quebec governments.

All healthcare practitioners undergo a rigourous course of study and chiropractors are no exception. Entrance requirements are high so students with the best academic standings completing a minimum of a three-year university program or equivalent are accepted. The CMCC program requires four years of full-time study and UQTR requires five following graduation from a CÉGEP health science program.

Both the CMCC and UQTR offer diverse faculty members who can offer students a wide range of expertise. Faculty backgrounds include biological sciences, pathology, medicine and psychology, as well as chiropractic.

Internship
Chiropractic education also requires hands-on clinical experience under the direct supervision of highly-qualified faculty. This experience includes clinical assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and referral protocols.

Licencing Examinations
Comprehensive national examinations are administered by the Canadian Chiropractic Examining Board (CCEB) and must be passed before a student can qualify to become licenced by the regulatory authority in their province of practice. Chiropractors educated outside of Canada are also required to pass the same Canadian qualifying examinations to become licensed to practise in this country.

Post-Graduate Specialization
In Canada, there are five post-graduate specialty colleges where chiropractors can undertake additional education to further advance their skills. The colleges focus on sports sciences, radiology, clinical sciences, orthopedics, and rehabilitation.
